Have we really become greener, or are factories just polluting elsewhere instead of here?

The article discusses Hungary's carbon footprint and greenhouse gas emissions, highlighting the difference between production-based and consumption-based emissions. While Hungary has reduced its total emissions significantly since 1990, it remains a net importer of carbon emissions due to high consumption of foreign products. The transportation sector has seen a notable increase in emissions, now accounting for a significant portion of the country's total. The article also mentions the EU's carbon border adjustment mechanism aimed at addressing emissions from imported goods. Consumers can reduce their carbon footprint by extending the life of products instead of buying new ones.
